Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $8.1 million (+6.2%) to $137.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior quarter due to higher average loan balances as a result of the loans acquired through the American Chartered merger as well as loan growth in our legacy portfolio.
Our net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding accretion on loans acquired in the Taylor Capital and American Chartered mergers ("bank mergers"), decreased seven basis points to 3.50% compared to 3.57% last quarter primarily due to lower yields earned on loans.
Our core non-interest income increased 18.0% to $107.7 million compared to $91.3 million in the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking and lease financing revenue. The increase in mortgage banking revenue was driven by higher origination fees as a result of higher origination volumes in the third quarter of 2016 and higher gains on sale margins. The increase in lease financing revenue was due to higher fees from the sale of third-party equipment maintenance contracts.
Our core non-interest expense increased $9.6 million (+6.6%) compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, which increased mainly due to the increased staff from the American Chartered merger, and commission expense. Commission expense increased as a result of higher mortgage loan origination volumes and lease financing revenue noted above.
The Company adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" in the third quarter of 2016, resulting in an income tax benefit of $1.8 million associated with stock-based compensation. Operating earnings were adjusted to exclude the $1.8 million income tax benefit in the table above.

Growth in Loan Balances During the Quarter

Loan balances, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, increased $2.3 billion (+23.0%) during the third quarter primarily due to loans acquired through the American Chartered merger as well as the growth in legacy commercial-related credits. Legacy loan balances, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, increased $433.8 million (+4.3%, or +17.2% annualized) during the third quarter of 2016.

Positive Credit Quality Metrics

Credit quality behaved well in the quarter.

Non-performing loans and non-performing assets decreased by $20.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, from June 30, 2016 primarily due to problem loans repaid in the quarter.
Potential problem loans increased by $11.8 million in the quarter.
Net loan charge-offs during the quarter were $2.5 million, or 0.09% of loans (annualized), compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.2 million, or 0.09% of average loans (annualized), in the second quarter of 2016.
Our allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans ratio was 1.11% at September 30, 2016 compared to 1.33% at June 30, 2016. The decrease in this ratio was primarily due to the loans acquired through the American Chartered merger. American Chartered's historical allowance for loan and lease losses does not transfer in purchase accounting, but an acquisition accounting discount on loans was recorded within the loan balances. The total acquisition accounting discount on these acquired loans was $34.1 million as of acquisition date.
Provision for credit losses increased to $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $2.8 million in the prior quarter primarily due to loan growth in the quarter.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior quarter due to higher average loan balances as a result of the loans acquired through the American Chartered merger as well as loan growth in the legacy portfolio during the quarter. Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to an increase in average loans, partially offset by an increase in average borrowings and an increase in the average cost of deposits as a result of the increase in interest rates.

Our net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding accretion on loans acquired in bank mergers, was 3.50% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 3.57% last quarter and 3.49% in the same quarter of last year. The decrease in our net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding accretion on loans acquired in bank mergers, in the third quarter of 2016 compared to last quarter was primarily due to lower yields earned on loans.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to an increase in average loans, a result of the loan growth in the legacy portfolio and, to a lesser extent, loans acquired through the American Chartered merger, partially offset by an increase in average borrowings and an increase in the cost of deposits.

See the supplemental net interest margin tables in the "Net Interest Margin" section for further detail. Reconciliations of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on bank merger loans are also set forth in the tables in the "Net Interest Margin" section. In addition, reconciliations of net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on bank merger loans are included in the same section.

Letters denote the corresponding line items where these non-core non-interest expense items reside in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:  A – Net loss (gain) recognized on other real estate owned and other expense, B – See merger related and repositioning expenses table below, C – Other operating expenses, and D – Salaries and employee benefits.
(2)
Includes payroll taxes, 401(k) and profit sharing contributions, overtime and temporary help expenses.

Core non-interest expense increased by $9.6 million, or 6.6%, from the second quarter of 2016 to $154.3 million for the third quarter of 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased primarily due to the increased staff from the American Chartered merger. Salaries and employee benefits expense also increased as a result of the following:
Commission expense increased due to higher mortgage commission expense resulting from higher mortgage origination volumes and higher leasing commission expense resulting from higher sales of third-party equipment maintenance contracts.
Other salaries and benefits expense increased due to increased temporary help in our IT and mortgage areas, increased overtime in our mortgage area and higher 401(k) match and profit sharing contribution expense.

7



Occupancy and equipment expense increased primarily due to the additional offices acquired through the American Chartered merger.
Non-interest expense was also impacted by higher gains recognized on other real estate owned properties.
Other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher filing and other loan expense as well as higher FDIC assessment fees as a result of a larger balance sheet due to the American Chartered merger.

Core non-interest expense increased by $33.8 million, or 8.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $431.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to the following:
Salaries increased due to annual pay increases effective in the beginning of the second quarter, new hires and the increased staff from the American Chartered merger.
Commission expense decreased due to lower commissions paid in our leasing segment as a result of lower lease financing revenues.
Bonus and stock-based compensation increased due to an increase in bonus expense based on company performance through September 2016.
Other salaries and benefits expense increased due to increased temporary help in our IT and mortgage areas as well as higher 401(k) match and profit sharing contribution expense.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased due to higher depreciation expense and rental operating expenses as a result of the acquisition of MSA and the American Chartered merger, new offices opened at our mortgage banking segment and an office relocation in our leasing segment.
Computer services and telecommunication expense increased due to higher processing costs as a result of increased customer activity and investments in systems.
Advertising and marketing expense increased due to increased brand awareness advertising.
Professional and legal expense increased due to an increase in litigation and consulting fees.
Non-interest expense was also impacted by higher gains recognized on other real estate owned properties.
Other operating expenses increased due to higher FDIC premiums (as a result of MB Financial Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") exceeding $10 billion in assets), filing and other loan expense and card expenses (higher rewards and product development expense).

Resides in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

In the third quarter of 2016, merger related and repositioning expenses primarily included costs incurred in connection with the American Chartered merger as well as a reversal of an exit cost due to a favorable lease termination on a branch acquired through the Taylor Capital merger. In the second quarter of 2016, merger related and repositioning expenses included a $1.5 million contract termination fee related to the American Chartered integration (reflected in other operating expenses). In the first quarter of 2016, merger related and repositioning expenses included an increase in our contingent consideration accrual for our acquisition of Celtic Leasing Corp. as a result of stronger lease residual performance than previously estimated. In the fourth quarter of 2015, merger related and repositioning expenses were impacted by the reversal of an accrual for a potential contingent loss we assumed in connection with the Taylor Capital merger (reflected in other operating expenses).

Includes payroll taxes, 401(k) and profit sharing contributions, overtime and temporary help expenses.

Net income from our Banking Segment for the third quarter of 2016 increased compared to the prior quarter. This increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income driven by the loans acquired through the American Chartered merger and loan growth in the legacy portfolio as well as an increase in other non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses expense and higher salaries and employee benefits expense primarily due to the increased staff from the American Chartered merger.

Net income from our Banking Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, driven by loan growth in the legacy portfolio and, to a lesser extent, loans acquired through the American Chartered merger, and an increase in other non-interest income. This increase was partly offset by higher salaries and employee benefits expense due to annual pay

Net income from our Leasing Segment for the third quarter of 2016 decreased compared to the prior quarter. This decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase provision for credit losses expense, as result of a potential problem loan, partly offset by an increase in lease financing revenues, as a result of an increase in fees from the sale of third-party equipment maintenance contracts.

Net income from our Leasing Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in lease financing revenues, as a result of a decrease in residual gains and fees from the sale of third-party equipment maintenance contracts.

Net income from our Mortgage Banking Segment for the third quarter of 2016 increased compared to the prior quarter. This increase in net income was due to an increase in mortgage origination fees and net interest income, partly offset by higher mortgage commission expense and volume-related other operating expenses. The increase in mortgage origination fees was driven by higher origination volumes in the third quarter of 2016, as a result of the favorable interest rate environment, and higher gains on sale margins.

Net income from our Mortgage Banking Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase in net income was due to an increase in mortgage origination and servicing fees, partly offset by higher salaries expense due to annual pay increases and new hires and higher bonus expense.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. These acquired loans are segregated into three types: pass rated loans with no discount attributable to credit quality, non-impaired loans with a discount attributable at least in part to credit quality and impaired loans with evidence of significant credit deterioration.  

Pass rated loans (typically performing loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 "Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs" as these loans do not have evidence of credit deterioration since origination.
Non-impaired loans (typically performing substandard loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 if they display at least some level of credit deterioration since origination.
Impaired loans (typically substandard loans on non-accrual status) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 as they display significant credit deterioration since origination.

For pass rated loans (non-purchased credit-impaired loans), the difference between the estimated fair value of the loans (computed on a loan by loan basis) and the principal outstanding is accreted over the remaining life of the loans.

In accordance with ASC 310-30, for both purchased non-impaired loans and purchased credit-impaired loans ("PCI loans"), the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Changes in the purchase accounting discount for loans acquired in the bank mergers were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2016 (in thousands):

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this press release and in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in other press releases or other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits from the MB Financial-American Chartered merger might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (2) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which could necessitate additional provisions for loan losses, resulting both from originated loans and loans acquired from other financial institutions; (3) competitive pressures among depository institutions; (4) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior, net interest margin and the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (5) the possibility that our mortgage banking business may experience increased volatility in its revenues and earnings and the possibility that the profitability of our mortgage banking business could be significantly reduced if we are unable to originate and sell mortgage loans at profitable margins or if changes in interest rates negatively impact the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (6) the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (7) fluctuations in real estate values; (8) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and developments in the market place; (9) the possibility that security measures implemented might not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber attack or cyber theft, and that such security measures might not protect against systems failures or interruptions; (10) our ability to realize the residual values of its direct finance, leveraged and operating leases; (11) the ability to access cost-effective funding; (12) changes in financial markets; (13) changes in economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular; (14) the costs, effects and outcomes of litigation; (15) new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and regulations adopted thereunder, changes in capital requirements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, changes in the interpretation and/or application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry and changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; (16) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (17) our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business; and (18) future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors.

We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.

Annualized operating return on average assets is computed by dividing annualized operating earnings by average total assets. Annualized operating return on average common equity is computed by dividing annualized operating earnings by average common equity. Operating earnings is defined as net income as reported less non-core items, net of tax.
(2) 
Annualized cash return on average tangible equity is computed by dividing net cash flow available to common stockholders (net income available to common stockholders, plus other intangibles amortization expense, net of tax benefit) by average tangible common equity (average common stockholders' equity less average goodwill and average other intangibles, net of tax benefit).
(3) 
Annualized cash operating return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing annualized cash operating earnings (operating earnings plus other intangibles amortization expense, net of tax benefit, less dividends on preferred shares) by average tangible common equity. Operating earnings is defined as net income as reported less non-core items, net of tax.
(4) 
Equals total interest expense divided by the sum of average interest bearing liabilities and noninterest bearing deposits.
(5) 
Equals total non-interest expense excluding non-core items divided by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, total non-interest income less non-core items, and tax equivalent adjustment on the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance.

(6) 
Equals total non-interest expense excluding non-core items less total non-interest income excluding non-core items, and including tax equivalent adjustment on the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance divided by average assets.
(7) 
Equals total non-interest income excluding non-core items and tax equivalent adjustment on the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance divided by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, total non-interest income less non-core items, and tax equivalent adjustment on the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance.
(8) 
Represents net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate, as a percentage of average interest earning assets.
(9) 
Non-performing loans excludes purchased credit-impaired loans and loans held for sale.  Non-performing assets excludes purchased credit-impaired loans, loans held for sale, and other real estate owned related to FDIC transactions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include operating earnings, core non-interest income, core non-interest income to revenues (with non-core items excluded from both core non-interest income and revenues), core non-interest expense, non-core non-interest income and non-core non-interest expense, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on bank mergers loans, efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets with net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, and prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, branch exit and facilities impairment charges, merger related and repositioning expenses, increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation and contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets; tangible book value per common share; annualized operating return on average assets, annualized operating return on average common equity, annualized cash return on average tangible common equity and annualized cash operating return on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons.

Management believes that operating earnings, core and non-core non-interest income and core and non-core non-interest expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and non-interest expense when comparing periods.

Management believes that operating earnings adjusted for merger related and repositioning expenses is a useful measure because it excludes expenses that can significantly fluctuate from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, management believes that excluding these expenses provides investors and analysts a measure to better understand the Company's primary operations when comparing the periods presented in the earnings release.

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income, net interest margin, tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. For the same reasons, management believes that the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful.

Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, branch exit and facilities impairment charges, merger

related and repositioning expenses, increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation and contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation from the non-interest expense components, of the efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, these ratios better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these ratios more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period.

The other measures exclude the acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefit, in determining tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity and average tangible common equity and exclude other intangible amortization expense, net of tax benefit, in determining net cash flow available to common stockholders. Management believes the presentation of these other financial measures, excluding the impact of such items, provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital, as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.

The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Reconciliations of net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on bank merger loans to net interest margin are contained in the tables under “Net Interest Margin.” A reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per common share is contained in the “Selected Financial Ratios” table.
